    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This has to be one of the best games of all time. Its excellent RPG and for the most part makes you feel like your character could be a part of the South Park universe. Its a quality game that is fun and and something different. I cannot wait for some DLC to come out as Ive already beaten the main store and many side quests.

    I find the negative reviews are very curmudgeon like. Yes, you will need to know the series but even if you have a cursory knowledge then you will get a good portion of the inside jokes. Any time I experienced anything even moderately glitchy it has zero impact and lasted for maybe half a second,and maybe happened three times all game.

    In regards to choice and customization, no character ever built by anyone will be the same as someone elses. There are millions of combinations, almost infinite. I dont get the complaints about how if you want to be a thief and act like a Mage as if its an issue, its is your choice. Your a child, in South Park, LARPing, of course you can do as you please. I generally kept my character in the role and didnt have a problem but also experimented with other combinations. This is the worst complaint ever. Disregard any posts which complain about choice.

    There is zero reason not to play the game in my opinion based on the negatives therefore I have to give it a ten because the enjoyment I had playing the game was far and away better

    Whether you pay full price now or wait until it goes on sale you should buy this game and play it. I cannot wait to give more money to play an expansion.    … Expand

    If you like South Park the TV show you're going to love this game. I had a heap of fun wandering round the town and seeing the layout. Best game play I've seen in a turn based RPG, but the fights are a little bit too easy some of the time. This does not take away from the comedy which is absolute gold. BUY THIS GAME!!

    I was surprised at how much i enjoyed this game. Well balanced, fun, what's not to like really. My only real complaints are that it felt a bit on rails, there wasn't much in the way of side quests and i don't think any real branching storyline. Would of preferred if it had been longer.

    I was happy to get the full uncut version as it was not meant for every country. So here is my experience (no Spoiler)

    After the first Minutes of introduction, South Park directly strikes with his trump card.
    Basically the hole Game is designed exactly like the TV Series, which gives the player an extra portion of South Park Charme straight from the beginning.
    Just as we arrive in the neighbourhood we directly meet Cartman who introduces us to the world and the gameplay.

    After some minutes we know the basic mechanics of South Park and are able to work on the quests that are given to us.
    So far so good.

    The gameplay mechanics reminds me to titles like Final Fantasy or Heroes of Might an Magic, but with much less complexity.
    So there is where the game has obviously its biggest issue: The gameplay is very soft RPG gameplay, that has very funny ideas, but lacks in depth.
    So we can find many things as equippment, but in most cases it doesnt really care what calls you are playing with. Especially the Jew Class doesnt find as much things and always builds a mixture of different Items not directly related to the Jew class.

    But besides this. South Park completely holds what it has promised. An outrageous story thats typical for South Park and tons of jokes. The story gets more weird the more it progresses and tthe little minigames are just enough fun to at least not get too bored till the end of the game. (10 - 12 hours max).

    Technically South Park is a rating of about 6-7/10 but implying that mostly fans will have an interest on this ill give it an 8/10 because with the South Park bonus its worht 1 point more!    … Expand

It has the pity, foul and interesting storyline that one would expect from the shows; with every bit of the satirical humor that I anticipated, as well as a surprisingly fun gameplay, inspired by the old-school turn-based RPG’s such as Paper Mario. The game is filled with side quests and humorous dialogue that keeps the player entertained whilst interested in where the story will take you next.

Very Graphic and vulgar stuff especially in some part will put off people. Game is short for a RPG but this isn't really a RPG more so a South Park episode or more of the effect Season of it.

    Please note this was done on PC on a mid range 3D card (7k series Radeon) and I-5 processor. Game ran great and no issues on frame rate or tearing occurred.    … Expand

    If you are a South Park fan like me, this is a must buy. It's like being in the most disgusting, offensive and funny episode ever!

    The score is only 7 because it is very short and the combat is quite easy even on hard core.

    For the most part, I love South Park's humor. I am more of a fan of the light-hearted gags among the kids and other characters (underpants gnomes, mr hankey, towelie), and sometimes I think Matt and Trey can lose their comedic touch with the storyline at certain points (nazi fetuses).

    The gameplay is a turn-based rpg which will turn off some people, but I found it engaging and interesting. The characters are unbalanced, ranging from too overpowered (kyle) to useless (kenny). The character you control constantly changes his armor/equipment with armor patches, which keeps the combat interesting. I started off as a jew, but ended up being a 2 handed warrior by the end of the game.

    A strong con I feel is that the game is short, took me 10 hours to to beat the game with most of the sidequests completed. Certain sidequests are great (mr hankey's marital problems, al gore) but most of them are the run of the mill kill, collect rpg questss. The main quest is hilarious though, and truly keeps you hooked until the end.

    Bottom line, this is a game for fans of the show, or people who can appreciate the crazy humor that south park delivers. I wouldn't say it's worth 60 dollars though, and you should wait for that 20-30 dollar price range.

    And that was all well and good for the entire game but that was for ME. I would give this a 10/10 for personal experience and this was easily my favorite turn-based RPG to come out since the original Paper Mario game for the N-64 but I will warn that if you are not a hardcore fan of South Park, you may find this game to be repetitive, disturbing, and possibly your ticket into Hell every time you laugh at a Nazi Zombie fetus in an abortion clinic, or when you have to avoid your dad's balls while you battle underneath your parents having sex, but hey, if you're a fan you will love it. This is the craziest thing that Matt and Trey have done since the SP Movie and Team America in my humble opinion.

    However, my beef is with the fact that at some point it became ok for game developers to charge $60 for a game with no replayability and can be completed in ~10 hours. Why and when did this become ok? I make a policy to average any game score I play with a Zero simply because of this.

    I would rate this game a 8-9 with the only knock being that it's controls are a bit awkward and they don't allow them to be changed. But I cannot, not for 10 hours of gameplay at $60. So you get a 4 and Ubisoft gets another strike in my book.    … Expand

    There are still some issues and most of them are related to actual game mechanics. Main annoyance for me was the key combos and quick time events required to perform combat moves. As often is the case, these just don't work well on PC. After a while I mostly get used to them, but there were some I failed to do almost every time.

    Some of the puzzles can also be a bit annoying. These basically require you to use correct abilities to correct hot spot. Especially early in the game when you don't know how all the abilities and hot spots work, you might get stuck for a while. The main problem here is that game doesn't always explain itself very well and you have to figure out yourself how many game mechanics work.

    In the end, these issues are relatively minor and were out-weighted by all the great South Park stuff. The game length was ok. Maybe 15 hours or a bit less on average if you do most of the quests. Less if you just run through the main plot.

Despite all of this you just have to keep playing so you can see it all, and you so want to love it you forget to even look for what you would normally look for in an RPG. It is offensive, crude and hilariously funny for 15 hours or so, with hundreds of references to the show, all the familiar characters and a funny plot running through it.
    Exploring the map of South Park was a rare joy, so much so that I regularly forgot what it was I was supposed to be doing. There are a lot of puzzles to do, hidden stuff to find, many side quests and collectables to look for, mini games and a perk system of character upgrades linked to the amount of friends you can get on Facebook. Almost everything is a blast on the first play through and the writing up to the usual SP standards. For me the highlight comes early, when Cartman gives you the option of playing either a wizard, a warrior, a thief or a Jew. If only this choice made any difference...

    But it does not. You get four abilities depending on what you choose, but everything else stays the same. And since you are basically perma OP anyway you could probably squeak by without even using most of them. This also makes the combat repetitive and mostly boring, weirdness aside, and it also makes gear almost entirely cosmetic, since you don`t really need it. Some of the mandatory mini games are also amazingly poor and either broken or so poorly translated from Xbox they are essentially impossible to pass, unless you look them up online to discover that the instructions you`re given are misleading, to say the least. Without this help I would have gotten stuck somewhere in the middle and been very annoyed.
    It is a shame that the gameplay doesn`t quite match the quality of the design, writing and satire, in what is in essence an open world South Park not missing a thing from the TV show. But when the best part is exploring the town and talking to all the characters we`re not dealing with a very good game in itself.

    So in conclusion, The Stick of Truth is a must for anyone who likes South Park and is basically a season of content all by itself. It can not be recommended to RPG fans though, unless they also like South Park. And after you`re done with it you`re done, since there is basically no replay value at all.    … Expand

I haven't completed the story, but It's great so far. Funny, intriguing, and using the south park universe's characters perfectly. In addition to complex, strategic battle, the overworld is fun as well, where you're given puzzles and chances to interact with the environment to get collectables or deal environmental kills. This game is just designed beautifully. All of the elements complement each other perfectly.

    So, why didn't I give this game a 10? Well, for a few reasons. First of all, the game is short, I've heard that it can be completed in as little as 10 hours. Since this game is so addicting, you'll probably be playing 2hour sessions, so the game will be complete much faster than you'd expect from a game bearing a whopping $60 price tag. Second of all, this game is buggy. I'm sure this will be patched eventually, but I've encountered game breaking bugs 3 times, which forced me to load earlier saves. Buyer beware that the game isn't yet perfect. Finally, the god damned key mashing events. If you have any sort of disability, carpal tunnel, or are just plain slow when tapping buttons, you may not be able to progress further than 2 hours into the game. Mashing the S key is required in both the pooping minigame, and on the alien spaceship. If you can't mash your keyboard EXTREMELY fast, then you may be wasting your money. It took me 10 minutes to successfully pass the alien spaceship scene. The button mashing QuickTime events are by far the hardest part of the game.

    Overall, the game will be well worth it once a patch fixes the bugs and key mashing events. But if you can get past those, then there's a really beautiful game here.    … Expand

    Mane: igra je za RPG baš kratka(trebalo mi samo 17h da pređem sve questove) i mogli su ubaciti još tonu stvari u igri jer je serijal pun mogućnosti.
    Nadam se da će u skorijoj budućnosti izaći kakav DLC ili možda i nastavak igre.    … Expand

    This game is a great addition to the south park story. Very funny, and every thing you would expect from an episode of south park, but with more outrageous events you cant see on TV. The game as a RPG works well too. I have had no problems with bugs or glitches. I would say, enjoy.

    Had me laughing from the start! Great game artwork is spot on. Great references to the show. Over all plays really well combat is great fun especially using your manna! Story is good (so far, only played a few hours). Really recommend this game.

    While I did enjoy this game and I do recommend it...it does have some obvious flaws.

    Mainly my biggest gripe is the saving. I willl save my spot in the game and it refuses to save right where I am at.

    Mainly my biggest gripe is the saving. I willl save my spot in the game and it refuses to save right where I am at. I am pretty sure this has nothing to do with my computer, and I hope this is patched soon. If you try to save in an exact spot it will only let you save where you were at your last checkpoint. My roomate tried starting a new game and it does let you have multiple save files but even though i never saved over his file it will magically dissapear, so I think there is some issues technically with the saving system. I will say this is more of an issue if you are sharing the game with a friend or you wanted to create another character but keep your old game.

    The fighting system has some minor snags. The time the "block" icon comes up and when you push the buttons on a hooked up controller, has delay so pretty much just block when something makes contact don't pay attention to the block icon. You just have the time things yourself which is fine but it's irritatiing to have the icon even in the game if you'll never pay attention to it.

    I beat the game on normal difficulty but I highly suggest lowering the difficulty to casual for your first playthrough so you can just enjoy the story and have fun. It gets quite difficult at the very end and instead of laughing with the game I was kind of just glad it was over because of how frustrating the final boss is.

    The story is the glowing part of this game. You will see many characters some you may have not thought about in a long time. I don't want to go too into it, but I will say it's an overall good story. I will be honest and say the ending is not as good as it could have been in a sense that I felt very little pay off for beating the final boss at the end of the main story. It wasn't awful, it was even decent but I think it could have been (should have been) way more over the top like the rest of the game was. A boss fight in the middle of the game is way more of a shocking and interesting moment then the last boss is. I think that's a flaw.

    Anyways I'm glad I played the game and I don't want to come off the wrong way but I did have some issues with it that brought me out of the game. Again lower the difficulty on the first play. Overall I'd give technical parts of the game a 7 and the story an 8 so overall a 7.5 is fair I think. I'd also wait to buy it until it goes on sale unless you just have 60 dollars to drop like I did. Just saying :)    … Expand

The battle system is simple and boiks down to timing and basic tactics. What i did take issue with was the small scale of the battles. At this moment i have 2 buddies and can only use 1 in battle, which is kind of limiting. It may be so because they wanted to focus the story on the player character as he interacts with the universe, i don't know, i just found it limiting. Everything else is pure South Park gold.

    It's like playing in a very long and well written episode of the show. It combines the absolute hilarity of the show and RPG elements seamlessly. On top of that, you see almost every major and minor character that has ever appeared in the show's history. The same thing goes for the music.

    If you look past the fart jokes, this is actually quite well-designed and funny RPG. Reminds me of Final Fantasy series, because combat and inventory system is very similar. I would recommend it to anyone who doesn't have a specific dislike of South Park.

    3/10/14 Update:
    After finishing up the game and seeing what all I had left to be done. I would like to update my review. The game has too much sexual content like characters showing off their privates. The game is mainly about farting because its the only way to beat it plus its a high attack ratting. It's funny but after five hours of seeing it / hearing it, it gets old. There's a mission or two where it requires jimmy and when he starts to talking, he can't stop studdering and the player cannot skip through it so it's like listening to a broken record player. Uses same jokes more than 10 times.

    I was beginning to think it was going to be worth atleast $30 but now i don't think its even worth 20

There are two levels which are greatly affected by the censorship that ruined part of the experience for both myself and the friends I played with in Australia. Abortion and Anal Probing are much less disturbing than some of the things you see in this game and it just seems unfair and unnecessary.

    I love South Park, so this review *might* be biased, but I'll try and play Devil's Advocate wherever possible. It'll also be a short, spoiler-free review, for the PC VERSION.

    So, £40/$60? If you're a PC guy, then you know that blockbusters like Hitman or Tomb Raider were only £25, so why is this £40? Because Ubisoft.

    If you think this, boy you'll be wrong like I was.

    Not much can be said about this game in a spoiler-free fashion, but if you're like me who's seen every South Park episode over and over, you'll love every bit of reference this game makes.

    There are only two issues I can see:
    1) Some achievements are impossible if you missed something during a story sequence, prompting multiple (4+) playthroughs to achieve certain ones. Some people, like me, would embrace the opportunity to replay the game, but some people don't like this, so if you're an achievement hunter, bare that in mind.
    2) THIS GAME IS FAR TOO EASY. I started playing on Normal difficulty, found it too easy, so I upped it to Hardcore halfway through, and I still only died outside of combat from things like mouse traps or fire. So a patch or a mod that makes the game harder is in order. I got the Hoarder achievement on my first playthrough because I never needed to sell anything!

    Conclusion: £40/$60 is steep for PC, so wait for Lord Gaben to bestow offers upon us, but if you're a console guy (*cough* peasants *cough*) I highly recommend this game.    … Expand

But it is a very fun game and even after beating it, I want to play again with a different class. There are four class options: Fighter, Thief, Mage, and Jew. The Jew class that I chose tends to benefit from being at low health. Their abilities grow much stronger as they get lower and lower in hit points.

    The other characters you get to bring with you are very fun as well. Butters, Stan, Kyle, Princess Kenny (or Kyeennny if you incorrectly talk like Cartman), Cartman, and Jimmy can be on your team (just one of them at a time) to help you. There are certain points in the game where you must choose a certain buddy to perform a command to get past obstacles.

    The game's flaws are few, but they are common flaws for PC versions of console games. The controls are poor at times. Some points in the game would have normally used an analog stick for your controller, but you are forced to use the A and D keys in a poor attempt at emulating the analog controller. Thus, some points in the game can be a bit frustrating as a PC user.

    Another issue is that, during cutscenes, if you have ALT-TABBED during your most recent session of this game, your character will blink in and out from the scene. You have to close the game and open it again to fix this.

    But despite those PC-only bugs, it is still a very enjoyable game. It is more fun if you enjoy South Park as a show, but even if you're not the biggest fan, the game is still good on its own. It's not a typical licensed product, which usually consists of a ripoff of a better game with sounds from the TV show (Simpsons Hit n run).    … Expand

The writing is still the crude humor watchers have grown up with, seeing as though Matt and Trey worked on this you know it's going to be dirty.

    Why is it not a perfect score or an 8 or higher?
    First off: It's short. Im talking like 10 hours of gameplay. Dont get me wrong Ive enjoyed all 10 hours I was playing it. But it was really short. I wasn't expecting to put as much time in it as I did with Dark Souls or Skyrim. I hoped I'd be close but no where near. With little decisions to be made to change the ending, there is no real replay value unless you wanna try and snag all the friend requests/Chinpokomon/Side Quests.
    Second: For a game with such simple graphics I encountered quite a few blips. During cut scenes my character would just vanish at times. So NPCs were talking to no one. As well, at the very end, the whole group of guys disappeared during a cutscene leaving only Jimmy in the background looking like the game's video froze.

    It's a pretty good game. $60 worth? Not at all. I would have waited until the price drop if I wasn't so amped to play this. Again it's not a bad game, I loved when the game took us to Canada or going to Tom's Rhinoplasty to look like the Hoff.

    SOUTH PARK: The Stick of Truth (aka TSOT - which is pretty close to Tsst! isn't it?)
    After a long wait from multiple release date delays that were brought about by major producer changes which finally landed it in the laps of Obsidian - South Park: The Stick of truth has finally been released and to the complete elation of true fans and utter dismay of those not worthy, it is clearly above and beyond expectations. The first thing to note is that the game itself is a faithful and true adaptation of South Park in every conceivable way. There is really no differentiating it from a full blown episode itself and aside from the actual combat scenes which look distinctly Paper Mario-esque, if someone were to walk in and see it on your screen they would rightfully assume you were watching an episode. So much effort has been put into this faithful recreation of the South Park mythos that it's almost impossible not to play this without a either laughing out loud constantly and grinning from ear to ear throughout your adventure. It's amazingly well crafted and fan service was given front of the line priority thanks to the show's creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker, who show they are no slouches in the video game department. It's no secret that Trey and Matt are hardcore gamers and fans of RPGs, and that happens to be a great thing. There could be no better way to truly capture the essence of South Park but through a stylized and fleshed out RPG South Park game. First and foremost, this game is for the fans. Plain and simple. Trey and Matt's goal (recorded in many pre-game interviews) was to create a game worthy of the South Park name... and boy have they ever achieved that goal. The gameplay as mentioned before is very similar in gameplay to the Paper Mario series of games (and Trey Parker was even quoted naming this game pre-release of SP:TSOT). This is first of all one of the best mechanics you could possibly implement for this type of game. Many have stated that the game is roughly 12-15 hours of content. Having played the game for days now... I completely disagree with that assessment. I believe that would be accurate if you "fast traveled" (using a hilarious Timmy carriage) everywhere in game, did not explore every nook and cranny, or take time to read all of the hilarious descriptions of items. Even not touching the controller for awhile brings about hilarious dialogue that you won't want to miss (Butters says "Yeah... most people break out their cell phones after hanging around me for a little while") . This isn't just an interactive "season" or "episode" as some reviews have stated, this has an absolute abundance in references to all 17 seasons. You will be hard pressed to find some reference missing if you explore every drawer, and every nook and cranny, and if you consider yourself anything of a South Park enthusiast... you will find this to be well worth your time as every single item and description is hilariously crafted and lovingly and painstakingly recreated. Everything is where it should be and characters react with hilarious dialogue when you encounter something new - true to South Park humor and form. For example, in a ridiculously hilarious scene where you are given a task by the Goth kids in or order to gain their trust, to post a sign that reads **** the conformists" in the middle of a typical South Park town hall meeting. You owe it to yourself to talk to, fart on, and investigate every character and every inch of the inhabitants of this game because when you do... nuggets of pure hilarity ensue. While carrying the sign given to you by the Goth kids, if you speak to Mr. Garrison, perplexed he looks at your sign and says **** the conformists?... Why are they a good lay?". You can even transform the look of your character, and in some areas must to proceed, always to awesome results - and if you've seen the episode "Tom's Rhinoplasty" that's really all I have to say. Yes... the Hoff. There are some very minor and trivial gameplay issues that really and truly aren't worth mentioning... so I won't because at the end of the day, this game is a complete heartfelt love letter to South Park fans everywhere. It is a definitive work of art, one of the best games if ever made if you're truly looking for faithful to source material and absolute stellar comedic value... and truthfully Trey and Matt should be very proud of one sharing with the world one of their greatest accomplishments. This also makes Obsidian look like total badasses. South Park: The Stick of Truth. Have yourself a time... the time of your video gaming life.

    *editorial note - with a reviewer name like "Ready for Hillary" is it any wonder she didn't like this game? Nice try Sheila Brovfloski (proving that Kyle's Mom most certainly is a ****    … Expand

    Perfect game. I hope for more. It features a playthrough of a lot of the humor the south park show has to offer. I have never laughed so much, and been so caught in a game. The combat is fun, because if it's cheeky way of working. This game gets bad reviews because people find the jokes offensive. Why can't we all just have a laugh?

    This PC version has everything. Working controller, even. I played it in big screen on my 46" TV like any console g amer would have done, but on my pc. I enjoyed it. It feels so complete and works without ANY trouble.
    Let's hope for dlc in this masterpiece, to maybe go to nambla, evil twins of another dimension, sexual harrasment panda and a lot of other quests that would be possible. It deserves more than 8.5, enough said. Only critics who're not paid and are probably offended gives it any lower than 8.

    Length is about 13 hours for everything if you go through it normally. It can be longer and shorter all about how you play it. Explore, see south park and enjoy it!

    Only problem is the EU censorship. Luckily I am on PC and the removed scenes were there. I wouldn't have gotten it if anything had been removed, and I expected PG 18 of course.    … Expand

    This game is highly offensive and intolerant to certain minorities. The jokes are racist, insensitive, and in bad taste. I was shocked and appalled that after playing a few hours, I had to uninstall the game. This kind of stuff needs to be banned. We should not be teaching our children such intolerant, bigoted, sexist things. I am outraged. 10/10

    I didn't expect anything from this South Park RPG, but The Stick of Truth is one of the best license games ever made. It's as obnoxious as the TV series, as it should be. The script is made with love and the RPG elements fit in to the franchise like a glove. [March 2014]

    The game takes its time to ramp up the pace but when it gets going, it doesn't stop. [Issue #240]
